Stop Taking the Peace

"Authentic, inspiring guide back to Peace.” Stop taking the peace is an authentic view on how we can take our own peace that lives within us all. For me this was realised very early on in the book. Greg reveals his true authentic self in this book. Honestly and openly expressing his own fears and his own journey and self discovery. He guides the reader back to peace through his interesting life experiences and inspirational, grounded and highly recommended meditation techniques to help cultivate peace in our daily lives. I would highly recommend this book its a guide to remembering who you truly are and the peace and freedom within us all.

Greg has been my therapist through a challenging but equally profound transition over the last few years of my life, his guidance, patience and wisdom have been pivotal during this period. I wanted to mention that first as there is alot of information in this book that we have discussed in the therapy sessions, and i can whole heartedly say, its had such a positive impact on my life. There is an openness about the book and from Chapter 1 you get to know Greg through a personal experience, and its a very interesting experience that sets the tone for what follows. I like mindfulness and spiritual books that are simple to follow and this is one of those books in my opinion. There are lots of little nudges throughout the book that have the ability to guide the reader to look a bit deeper, and thats what I generally look for when reading books of this nature. Whatever you decide, I hope this review has helped shine a light and I wish you the best 👍

An Inspirational Read I have lives with Greg for 16 years now and during that time I have witnessed his transformation into an increasingly loving, caring, calm, peaceful and compassionate human being. This journey is much of what he shares in this book. Through his insight and understanding of what prevents is from being at peace he shares practices and guidance on how to reclaim it. This is a book that helps us to raise our awareness of our own ability to heal. It is both practical and inspiring and I highly recommend it.

Simple but effective This is a great book to start your journey of self reflection and personal enlightenment. The author uses personal experiences as exemplars' which are candid but appropriate and authentic. He returns to meditation and mindfulness techniques throughout the text for the reader's individual practice which are easy to read and engage with. Overall, a calming and gentle book for personal growth.

Ok I should disclose that I was big friend of the author's from school and right through our 20's including when he was my lodger for a year. I guess that gives me a unique and maybe skewed perspective on a book which is partly a memoir of some key turning points in his life. Anyway after that our paths sort of diverged as I carried on just sort of getting on and Greg dedicated himself to learning a lot more and thinking a lot more about what It Is All About. In Stop Taking the Peace he has provided some answers. The structure is that each chapter introduces an concept which is explained and then backed up with some real life experiences and then followed up with by some really practical ideas of what you can do to bring this idea to life in your life. It doesn't attempt perfection and greg makes clear that he is not perfect and is still work in progress. Which is reassurring to the rest of us I reckon. What I like is that nothing is rammed down your throat. Everything in here is gentle, practical and a really accessible read. And I would challenge anyone to not find some benefit in those answers. If we all did that, we would be just fine. Live in the present. Read the book. It will Help.
